Chapter 74: Midnight Movement
She looked at the other person silently, as if in confrontation.
After a long time, Lady Hong smiled.
"Ms. Gu is really interesting."
Shen Jinan didn't know what was wrong with her, so he didn't respond.
With Hongniang at the dinner table, Suisui and Huanhuan became much quieter.
For some reason, the two children were inexplicably afraid of Matchmaker and didn't even dare to breathe.
The meal was spent in such a weird atmosphere.
Until night, a shrill scream broke the silence of the night.
The village itself was not big, and the scream quickly woke up the people around.
People got out of bed cursing, put on their clothes and rushed outside to see what was going on.
"Can't you let me sleep peacefully in the middle of the night?"
"This sound seems to be coming from the room where the mother and child are imprisoned?"
Everyone looked at each other and saw that the sound was indeed coming from that direction.
"Find someone to check out what's going on and let them be in peace." The village chief walked out of the yard with his clothes draped over him.
His voice was convincing. "If we scare the children in the middle of the night, it will be troublesome."
That’s indeed the case.
"I'll go."
A strong man stood up. This was Chen Song, who rescued Hu Zi a few days ago.
These young laborers in the village were lucky enough to escape the disaster because they were still young at the time.
It was for this reason that the elders of their families instructed them to take care of the villagers.
Chenjia Village is so harmonious.
The night wind rustled the leaves, bringing a cool breeze.
Under the moonlight, Chen Song walked towards the house with heavy steps.
From time to time, there were bursts of strange noises, and Chen Song's heart tightened.
This house has been empty for a long time. Could there be something unclean inside?
The closer he got to the room, the more nervous he became. By the time he reached the door, his hand holding the key had begun to tremble.
"Don't come over here! Don't come over here!"
"It has nothing to do with me! It was all your man's idea!"
"It's really not me who hurt you!"
He stuck to the door and heard these faint sounds. Realizing that they were indeed the voices of the mother and daughter, he felt relieved.
He didn't open the door, but pushed it gently and looked into the room in the faint moonlight.
"Shen Jinan, you little bitch! Why don't you just die!"
"Those two bastards deserve to be strangled to death!"
"I'll strangle you to death!"
The two women inside were talking to themselves in a ferocious manner, facing the empty room.
Lin's face was filled with fear, and she tried to push away something in front of her.
Shen Xitang, who was beside her, stretched out his hand, as if pinching something.
Thinking of what they had just said, Chen Song took a step back, feeling a little scared.
"madman!"
There is nothing in front of them, but they act like this, which is no different from being crazy.
Chen Song ran back, towards the light behind him.
"Village Chief! They're crazy! They keep yelling about strangling someone and killing someone!"
It wasn't until he reached this crowded place that he felt at ease.
"I guess he did something wrong and has something to hide."
Li Ruqian sneered and had no good feelings towards the two people.
"That's right, that mother and son must have done a lot of bad things."
"They deserve it. Locking them up for a few days is too easy for them!"
"Okay, okay, it's nothing serious, go back to sleep."
The village chief spoke up, warning everyone again, "Don't go near that house in the next few days."
If something really happens, the people in their village will not be able to escape responsibility.
Just lock them up there and let them reflect on themselves. As for whether they are crazy or not, we will see after a few days.
To put it another way, even if they are really crazy, they deserve it.
The villagers yawned and went back to rest.
Under the moonlight, only the occasional sound came from that house.
The row of houses allocated to the exiles is quite far away from here.
No matter how loud the noise here is, it will not reach their ears.
Have a good night.
The next day, Shen Jinan got up early.
Freshly-baked buns and side dishes were already on the table, and she was steaming egg custard for the child.
The local eggs sent by Li Ruqian are most suitable for children to eat when they are growing.
Looking at Shen Jinan who was busy preparing breakfast, Hong Niangzi said with interest: "I heard that your mother met with an accident yesterday."
Considering that Shen Jinan had visited them just yesterday, Hong Niangzi guessed that things were not that simple.
Perhaps it has a lot to do with the young lady in front of her who interests her very much.
"I said it yesterday, we have already separated and have nothing to do with their family."
She stopped what she was doing, looked at Hongniang seriously, and explained for the last time.
This person always uses this point to make things worse, and his attitude is really strange.
Could it be that he wanted to stand up for this mother and daughter?
"Most of the villagers were woken up yesterday, and when they went to check, they found something interesting. I thought you might be interested in it." A flash of interest passed through Hongniang's eyes.
"I slept soundly yesterday and didn't know about these things."
After bringing the food to the table, Shen Jinan said this and went into the house to call Sui Sui Huan Huan.
Gu Yanqing walked out and saw Hongniang leaning against the kitchen door, her eyes darkening.
She seemed to be too attentive to Shen Jinan. Could this man have some bad intentions?
Thinking of Shen Jinan's medical skills, he couldn't help but be alert in his heart: "My wife doesn't like to mention people who make her sad. If Lady Hong has any questions, you might as well ask me directly."
This was blaming her for being nosy. Hongniang couldn't help but clench the chopsticks in her hand and her face turned cold.
"Is this what Doctor Shen meant?"
Now that he was in a bad mood, he no longer called her Miss Gu.
Gu Yanqing sneered: "Indeed."
Thinking that Shen Jinan had indeed told him that he needed to be wary of Hong Niangzi, Gu Yanqing did not hesitate at all.
Confronting her, the sickly man in front of her stood with his back straight and his eyes deep, showing no sign of weakness. Hongniang felt a little uneasy in her heart.
Where did Shen Jinan's husband come from, and how could he be so magnanimous?
Hongniang was so shocked that she was speechless.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward.
It seems we have to find a way to get rid of this big Buddha.
Shen Jinan looked at the children who were eating quietly, worried that this would be bad for the children.
My brain was working at a high speed. It was not easy to send the person away without angering him.
After dinner, Hongniang disappeared as usual, and Shen Jinan was not surprised.
He hurriedly prepared his things and went out.
“Doctor Shen is here!” The village chief smiled kindly, his attitude was much warmer today, and he personally greeted Shen Jinan at the door.
When she entered the room, she saw Chen lying quietly on the bed. Although she had no hope, she still gave the little girl a kind smile.
"Auntie, are there any medicines that I should avoid taking?"
Taking out the silver needle, Shen Jinan asked as usual.
I will prescribe a prescription today. Ms. Chen has been taking medication for a long time, so I need to understand her contraindications.
"No." The village chief couldn't help but answer Shen Jinan's questions one by one.
The illness had lasted too long and Chen was weak.
Shen Jinan was extremely cautious when giving acupuncture, always paying attention to Chen's reaction.
By the time the acupuncture was finished, the back of her clothes was already soaked with sweat.
